Currently, I live in an apartment where it is has an open kitchen with stainless steel panels. To most people, it definitely looks stylish due to its uniform look. However, try returning home seeing streaks of stains on the panels, it is not a pretty sight. My boyfriend who is more of a perfectionist than me had attempted to clean it with stainless steel cleaning pads, but it did not work like it was supposed to. Both of us knew if the stubborn streaks remained, it would definitely drive us up the walls. One day, he came up with a brilliant idea, he purchased a bottle of baby oil, and poked a needle-like hole on the tip of the bottle. He poured a tiny bit of it on a piece of paper towel, and started polishing the stainless steel panels and other appliances. Voila! It works like magic :-) No more streaks, it is magical!
For stainless steel sinks, clean with baking soda, rinse well, and let dry. Then rub with baby oil (or any mineral oil). The sinks will look great.
ReplyDeleteBaby (mineral) oil also works great when you're out of WD-40 (or similar) oil: it can loosen sticky zippers, quiet squeaky doors, and remove sticky labels from glass items.
